Therapists in 10024

As a seasoned psychotherapist of over 30 years, I combine a variety of approaches in my work which may be long-term or brief, in person or by phone. The concerns you present may be about relationships, work, health, stress-management, loss or other life issues. Together we will explore your personal history, long-standing patterns and crises, integrating an Adlerian-based cognitive-psychodynamic approach with Gestalt, mind/body work, dreams or other appropriate modalities. Our goal will be helping you to feel a greater sense of control in your life with discovering your inner vitality, creativity and wisdom.

I work from an integrative strengths-based and solution-focused approach, focusing on mindfulness, movement, and the gut/brain connection.

Therapy is going to the gym for your emotional and relational well-being, so I give you a ton of credit for being here, exploring how to get in shape! Throughout my work, I have developed a style that is warm, direct, and actively challenges you to evolve. I have a tremendous working knowledge of evidence-based models, including CBT, DBT, MST, and ACT, as well as psychodynamic theory and the Gottman Method. My commitment to staying updated on current research and utilizing evidence-based models is a testament to my resolve to deliver therapy that actually works to help you meet your goals and experience relief.

In a world where daily stressors and anxiety can make us feel overwhelmed and unsure, we often feel lost or do not know where to start. Sometimes, one of the hardest decisions to make is to start therapy. That alone can be overwhelming, on top of what has already brought you to this decision. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and self-esteem issues? Are you looking for some relief from mental health concerns or guidance in personal growth?  Everyone has a story that deserves to be heard. Every chapter, even the difficult ones, should be met with understanding and an open mind.

Hi! I'm Brittany Nicholson and I hold an NY Mental Health Counseling license. I conduct my sessions with a strength - based approach. I believe there is no one size fits all approach to mental health therefore I utilize a variety of techniques such as Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Narrative therapy, and Psychoanalysis. I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, trauma, and life transitions. With a warm, yet affirming approach I create a judgment-free space that will help you build your emotional intelligence, challenge distorted thoughts, and encourage critical thinking.

Are you living the life you want? Stuck or unsatisfied in your relationships? Tired and depleted? Maybe you have friends, but find yourself wondering who you would really call in the middle of the night. Or your romantic relationship feels stuck, like you are repeating the same pattern over and over. We all know that deeper connection and intimacy are necessary for a more satisfying life, yet we feel that we are not getting what we need or want. Or maybe your pain is related to your job. You are working hard but not getting the recognition you crave. For many of us, we feel depleted or anxious and don't fully understand why.
